AppState CFA Team wins Southeastern regional and advances to the Americas Regional in the CFA Institute Research Challenge, a global security analysis competition.
The students are Zane Clark, Brandy Crump, Zack Marciniak and Hailey Shoesmith. The four compose the Broyhill Fellows, a subset competition team of the Bowden Investment Group, a hands-on financial portfolio management experience for students in the Walker College of Business.
The team competed in the Southeastern U.S. Sub-Regional and was selected as a Sub-Regional Champion. As a result, the team will advance to the Americas Regional level next week. "We are incredibly proud of these students; they continue to work very hard and are excellent representatives of Appalachian State," said BIG Faculty Advisor, Dr. Brandy Hadley. "Finally, this would not be possible without the support of our CFA Industry Mentor, Mr. Chris Pavese, President and Chief Investment Officer of Broyhill Asset Management, as well as the foundation built by Dr. Delbert Goff and prior teams."
